Good luck and Happy Boy Scouting! 3 What Boy Scouting Is Boy Scouting is a program for boys, 10 to 17 years old, who join Scout Troops sponsored by the schools, civic, fraternal, neighborhood, and religious organizations. It is service- and outdoor-centered. This means that the knowledge and skills that you learn are offered in the service of others. Most of these activities are done in the out-of-doors. As a member of a Patrol, you will learn to work with others in a team. It will train you to be a leader. You and your fellow Scouts will plan and carry out your activities under the guidance and help of your Troop Leaders. How To Become A Boy Scout You can be a Boy Scout if you are ten (10) and not more than seventeen (17) years of age. All you have to do is go to a Scout Troop in your school, neighborhood, civic, fraternal, service, or religious organizations. Inform one of the Troop members that you desire to join Boy Scouting. He will be very happy to assist you. The leaders of the Troop will tell you about the entry requirements you have to undertake to become a member. These are not examinations. They are just ways of finding out how well you have prepared to join Scouting. One of the Patrol Leaders will be asked to help you meet these requirements. Inform the Troop Leader when you are ready. Upon completion of the requirements you will be asked to fill up the Application to Become a Boy Scout form. You have to pay a small membership fee which you are expected to earn yourself. Discuss with your parents or guardian how you can earn this fee. You will then be presented your membership certificate in a special investiture ceremony. You will commit yourself to the Scout Oath and Law in the presence of your Patrol, your Troop, and your parents. From then on the Scout Oath and Law shall be your constant guide in your everyday life. 4 CHARACTER BUILDING The Scout Oath ANG PANUNUMPA NG SCOUT Sa ngalan ng aking dangal, ay gagawin ko ang buong makakaya; Upang tumupad sa aking tungkulin, sa Diyos at sa aking Bayan, ang Republika ng Pilipinas at sumunod sa Batas ng Scout; Tumulong sa ibang tao sa lahat ng pagkakataon; Pamalagiing malakas ang aking katawan, gising ang isipan at marangal ang asal. THE SCOUT OATH On my honor, I will do my best; To do my duty to God and my country, the Republic of the Philippines, and to obey the Scout Law, To help other people at all times, To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. The moment you take this Oath for the first time, you start a new life. That is why you must know and understand it thoroughly. It will be difficult at first to live the Scouting way of life. There are many temptations and difficulties in life to overcome. But if you will always do your best to live by the Scout Oath, you will become a true Scout in the end. The Scout Oath Explained On My Honor Your honor is a very precious and sacred possession. It concerns your good name and how your fellowmen look upon you as a person. A person without a sense of honor cannot be respected. When, on your honor, you commit yourself to the Scout Oath and pledge to live by its ideals, you are making a promise that you should keep to the best of your ability. I Will Do My Best In everything you do, you should always do your best. To do your best is your personal promise. Always try to live up to your promise and people will respect you for it. 5 The Scout Oath enumerates three outstanding duties of every Scout. They are: a) Duty to God and Country; b) Duty to Others; and c) Duty to Self. If only all people know these three outstanding duties and practice them, we would solve many national and international problems which now confront our elders. If we expect to enjoy the game of Scouting, everyone must do his part and do it well. Duty to God We who belong to the Scouting Movement recognize God as the Great Master. No matter in what manner we worship Him, we are one in our faith and belief that He is our Supreme Master. In Scouting, you will enjoy the adventure of the out-of-doors, in thick forests, beside the streams and lakes, far away from the noise of the town and city. Every now and then, during these eventful outings, there will creep into your mind a certain feeling which will make you take off your hat if you have it on and bow your head in reverence; or lift it toward heaven, while resolving to do good in token of gratitude to Him who provides you everything you need on earth. In campfire programs and in meetings, you will note that the first words the Campfire Chief utters are dedicated to the Great Spirit who rules over us, over our Scouts, and over the entire universe.

  • ESC Guidelines Around Gestures and Emoji
    ESC Guidelines around Gestures and Emoji Author:​ Lauren Gawne, linguist, on behalf of the Emoji Subcommittee Date:​ September 29, 2020 Version: ​1.0 Introduction Handshapes are one of the most frequently used categories of emoji, second only to smileys. Handshapes are easily recognised, and flexible in use in digital communications, giving us high confidence as useful emoji additions Gestures broadly fall into a number of popular subcategories like ​body-parts​, ​person-gesture​ and ​face-hand​, and ​person-activity​. Background The gestures fall into three main categories. Some handshapes might fit hand action types across all three. Some hand actions may also have specific meanings in one or more signed languages (e.g. the extended pinky generally means ‘bad’ in BSL and Auslan, and is the letter I in ASL). Emblematic Emblem gestures have a stable form that is linked to a stable meaning. A thumbs up only works if it’s only the thumb extended and it’s pointing upwards point it down and it means something different extend the pinky as well and it’s no longer a thumbs up, it’s a shaka 酪. These gestures are not ‘universal’, but have meanings across cultural areas. For example, the thumbs up is a positive sign in Euro-American culture but can be offensive in Iran and other Middle Eastern countries. The published literature on these is strongly skewed toward American/European emblem gestures. Recurrent gestures Recurrent gestures are less formalised than emblems, they tend to have a set of meanings but they’re not as direct as Emblems and the form of the gesture is not as fixed.

  • Death, Mourning and the Expression of Sorrow on White-Ground Lêkythoi
    Portraits of Grief: Death, Mourning and the Expression of Sorrow on White-Ground Lêkythoi Molly Evangeline Allen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 Molly Evangeline Allen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Portraits of Grief: Death, Mourning and the Expression of Sorrow on White-Ground Lêkythoi Molly Evangeline Allen In Athens in the early 5th century BCE, a new genre of funerary vase, the white-ground lêkythos, appeared and quickly grew to be the most popular grave gift for nearly a century. These particular vases, along with their relatively delicate style of painting, ushered in a new funerary scene par excellence, which highlighted the sorrow of the living and the merits of the deceased by focusing on personal moments of grief in the presence of a grave. Earlier Attic funerary imagery tended to focus on crowded prothesis scenes where mourners announced their grief and honored the dead through exaggerated, violent and frenzied gestures. The scenes on white-ground lêkythoi accomplished the same ends through new means, namely by focusing on individual mourners and the emotional ways that mourners privately nourished the deceased and their memory. Such scenes combine ritual activity (i.e. dedicating gifts, decorating the grave, pouring libations) with emotional expressions of sadness, which make them more vivid and relatable. The nuances in the characteristics of the mourners indicate a new interest in adding an individual touch to the expression, which might “speak” to a particular moment or variety of sadness that might relate to a potential consumer.

This discussion will be informed by Place Studies, which focuses on the physical context of the motif and the monument.

    FACULDADE DE ENGENHARIA DA UNIVERSIDADE DO PORTO An Approach of a Research Tool based in a Shamanic Interface Tiago Susano Pinto Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação Supervisor: Leonel Caseiro Morgado (PhD, Habil.) Co-Supervisor: António Fernando Vasconcelos Cunha Castro Coelho (PhD) Co-Supervisor: Stephan G. Lukosch (Dr.) June 26, 2015 An Approach of a Research Tool based in a Shamanic Interface Tiago Susano Pinto Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Informática e Computação Approved in oral examination by the committee: Chair: Luís Filipe Pinto de Almeida Teixeira (PhD) External Examiner: Hugo Alexandre Paredes Guedes da Silva (PhD) Supervisor: Leonel Caseiro Morgado (PhD, Habil.) Co-Supervisor: António Fernando Vasconcelos Cunha Castro Coelho (PhD) June 26, 2015 Abstract Nowadays gesture recognition systems are developed for several purposes, e.g. entertainment, security or education. Such interfaces are controlled by gestures performed by a user, and these gestures are not only associated with a command in the system but also have an intrinsic meaning to the user. Since gestures can have different meanings for users based on their cultural background, this thesis adopted the perspective of using a shamanic interface. A shamanic interface considers a per- son’s cultural background for gesture-based interaction. From a software architecture perspective, shamanic interfaces use a cultural layer that considers a user’s culture when linking a gesture to a certain command. This supports different user experiences with the same interface using gestures linked to a user’s culture. Being a recent proposal, the shamanic interface lacks empirical testing and validation, hence this thesis’ contribution is the creation of a research tool to enable empirical research of the con- cept.
